The cottage was well decorated, warm and comfortable. It was quiet on an autumn evening. It is close to the parking and in the courtyard which might be busy on a summer evening. The staff were attentive and aervice was good.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
The Breakfast was included and was really excellent (good choices, fresh good quality ingredients, well presented etc.), and the free off-road parking at the rear was convenient. We stayed in the cottage which is nicely presented, and good value. The only minor issues were the tv remote didn’t work (probably just batteries), the bathroom is a bit tired (toilet hard to flush, mold around the bath), but the shower and overall facilities were good enough. Overall, a comfortable good value stay.

Nice friendly welcome

Very nice stay, staff were very welcoming and friendly. The hotel is very traditional and the rooms spacious but needed some TLC. For example half empty toiletries and no toilet roll. Overall though this is a nice and friendly pub hotel and great value for money with the bonus of nice staff. The food in the pub was great and good value for money and the hotel breakfast was equally as nice. We would stay here again if in the area

We were made to feel very welcome from the second we walked in the door. Everything was explained to us, car parking, breakfast and where the bar was (very important lol) we were so pleased we picked this hotel. The food was great too.
